• Collaborate with the Creative team and recommend new concepts, formats, and messaging angles based on performance insights.
• Build and write creative briefs independently, translating performance data and strategic priorities into clear direction for designers and content creators.

3. Data Analytics & DOMO Reporting

• Build and maintain DOMO dashboards to track Meta performance across KPIs including ROAS, CPA, CTR, hook rate, hold rate, and thumbstop ratio.
• Conduct deep-dive analyses on campaign, ad set, ad, and creative-level performance to surface insights and inform budget allocation.
• Create automated reporting workflows within DOMO that integrate Meta Ads data with Shopify revenue and attribution data.
• Present weekly and monthly performance reports to leadership with clear narratives, trend analysis, and recommended actions.
• QA data pipelines and ensure accuracy of metrics across platforms and reporting tools.

4. Cross Functional Partnerships

• Act as the primary liaison between Performance Marketing and Creative, Retention, E-commerce, and Ops teams.
• Coordinate with Retention/CRM on audience list management, suppression strategies, and lifecycle alignment.
• Collaborate with E-commerce to align ad messaging with site promotions, product launches, and seasonal campaigns.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience managing Meta Ads at scale ($500K+/month in spend).
• Strong working knowledge of Meta’s Andromeda ad ranking system and how it impacts delivery, auction dynamics, and performance optimization.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze and optimize ad creative performance across TOF and BOF, with a portfolio of data-driven creative decisions.
• Proven ability to write and build creative briefs independently, translating data into actionable creative direction.
• Proficiency in DOMO for building dashboards, creating data flows, and generating automated reports.
• Advanced analytical skills with comfort working across large data sets to extract meaningful insights.
• Experience with Shopify and ecommerce attribution models.
• Strong understanding of full funnel paid media strategy in a DTC environment.
• Experience with tools like Triple Whale, Northbeam, or similar attribution platforms preferred.
• Knowledge of complementary paid channels (TikTok Ads, Google Ads, Snapchat Ads) a plus.
• Comfortable in a fast paced, high growth DTC environment where priorities shift quickly.
• Willingness and ability to travel to Miami HQ on a quarterly or monthly basis as needed.

Traits That Lead to Success

• Strong follow through and accountability; owns outcomes, not just tasks
• Clear communicator who drives alignment across teams

Overview:

Vaco Highspring is conducting a confidential Director‑level search on behalf of a large, complex consumer services organization with a nationally distributed operating footprint spanning thousands of locations.

The organization is seeking a Director, Field Procurement Operations to play a hands‑on leadership role supporting field operations, supply chain partners, and regional leadership. This position is designed for a procurement leader who thrives in fast‑moving, service‑driven environments and operates close to the business.

Role Orientation:

This is a field‑oriented, execution‑focused procurement leadership role. While strategic thinking and sound judgment are important, success is defined by day‑to‑day execution, supplier reliability, and strong partnership with regional and field leadership.

The organization is at an inflection point where procurement execution, supplier reliability, and field alignment are critical to business performance. This is a high‑visibility leadership role supporting both near‑term operational stability and longer‑term enterprise capability building. This is not a corporate strategy role; success is defined by operational stability, credibility with the field, and the ability to translate procurement discipline into real‑world outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead procurement operations across multiple indirect and operational categories supporting a geographically dispersed field organization
• Serve as a primary procurement partner to regional operations, supply chain, and field leadership teams
• Own the full supplier lifecycle, including sourcing support, contract execution, performance management, escalation, and remediation
• Act as a hands-on problem solver during supplier, service, or operational disruptions
• Ensure pricing fairness, service level consistency, and supplier accountability across regions
• Lead and develop a small team of regionally aligned procurement leaders
• Balance near term execution with continuous improvement in cost, efficiency, and supplier performance
• Operate with urgency, pragmatism, and sound judgment in a dynamic operating environment

Candidate Requirements & Profile

Required qualifications include:

• Typically, 10+ years of progressive procurement experience, with increasing scope, responsibility, and leadership accountability across complex, ENTERPRISE-SCALE environments.

• Professional experience gained within highly reputable private sector organizations, large, well-run enterprises, ideally including FORTUNE 500-scale environments
• Demonstrated progressive career path, evidenced by increasing scope, responsibility, and leadership impact over time
